I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I’m sure a lot of you have. For my part, I’ve been finally writing down my political experience, what I saw, etc…in a way that I think might be able to move some people on the right. But I also agree with this post. People always talk/write, etc…and rarely actually take action.

So, with that in mind, can we talk about what that looks like? Very specifically?

I suppose I’m hoping we can go a step beyond “go protest,” having unanimously agreed that we should all be out en masse to make it clear we’re pissed about…well…kinda everything.

But this is a fairly radical bunch. So, what do you all know about this? What concrete advice/tips/plans/ideas can we dumbass individual Americans learn from historic examples, political movements, etc…? Indeed, one of those questions might be: is this even the place to talk about this? If not, where? Does that already exist somewhere in the aether out there? Communications is always an interesting to me (I’ve wondered whether something like LoRa could be useful to setup in my area).

If I want to start a group locally, are there things I should think about? Practical tips beyond “talk to everyone you know?” Books to read? Etc…? Even if you get a group, it’s easy for it to mean nothing. How do you make it not mean nothing?

    I’ve been reading quite a bit on the history of tax revolt. Safer than taking to the streets or outgrown a mass strike. Has a direct impact on the federal government if a relatively small percentage of citizens participate. Add in how the current administration has kicked the IRS in the teeth and reduced their numbers. I bought some domains to put information up that people can share with others. I’m hoping it might have some impact. I feel desperately that I have to try SOMETHING, as it’s clear that the “guardrails” that are supposed to protect us don’t seem to exist anymore.
